A top apps list worth a look from Meldium

Tis the season of “top apps of the year” lists. Many are skippable. But this one compiled by password management company Meldium, now part of LogMeIn, caught my eye.

Based on the examination of usage data from “multiple tens of thousands” of users — the exact number wasn’t disclosed — Meldium came up with a list of the most popular applications across six categories — communication, collaboration, retail and service, sales and marketing, and social media.

Some results were hardly surprising: [company]Twitter[/company], for example, was undisputed overall champ and the champ within social media by far.

But a few results were more eyebrow-raising. In the dev tools category for instance, [company]Heroku[/company] got the top slot over perennial dev favorite [company]Github[/company]. No offense to Heroku, which is popular, but it just seems odd that it would have more users than Github, which as far as I know, pretty much every developer uses.
